Everything you need to understand or teach Sometimes I Think My Body Leaves a Shape in the Air.
"Sometimes I Think My Body Leaves a Shape in the Air," a free verse epistolary poem written by American poet and writer Ada Limón, was originally written in correspondence with fellow poet Natalie Diaz. Their exchange (entitled "Envelopes of Air") was eventually published in The New Yorker in 2018. "Sometimes I Think My Body Leaves a Shape in the Air" deals with the boundaries of self and the speaker's desire to fully inhabit her own body and the world at large.
